AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Markets & Rates: ASX 200 ended a volatile week down nearly 1% as Middle East tensions, higher bond yields and renewed RBA rate-hike fears rattled investors, with GDP data adding pressure by showing zero net productivity growth since 2019. Banking & Investing: IFM Investors is opening a Singapore office to grow its Asia private credit push, backed by Export Finance Australia funding, as it looks to diversify beyond Australia and New Zealand. Payments & Fintech: Revolut secured conditional approval from the US OCC for a national bank charter, with an eye on a 2027 launch, while also expanding merchant access via payment stack partnerships. Super & Household Finance: The Age Pension rises on 20 September, with the new rate set to affect retirees’ budgets. Property & Consumer: Woolworths plans to expand homeware while leaning harder into its food ecosystem, and housing affordability remains under strain as buyers face falling prices but still-stretched costs. Commodities & Critical Minerals: Queensland Premier David Crisafulli pitched critical minerals funding to US VP JD Vance, arguing it’s “Queensland’s time” to secure projects. Crypto & Regulation: Australia is pushing crypto firms to meet licensing transition deadlines by Sept. 30 amid tighter enforcement.
